Our Story
Cabra Ranch - From conception to consumer
We are Ray and Trudy and we love goats!
From the very first moments of a goat kid's life, we are there to witness the miracle of birth and ensure that every step of the milking process is carried out with the utmost care and attention. Our commitment to the well-being of our goats is unwavering, and we take great pride in producing a final goat milk product that meets the highest standards of quality and excellence.
Our ranch is a haven for those who appreciate the goodness of nature. We take pride in our high-quality goat milk products that are crafted with utmost care. Our community of farmers and enthusiasts is a testament to our commitment to sharing knowledge and learning from one another. We open our doors to visitors who wish to experience the beauty of our ranch and the warmth of our hospitality.
Why we do what we do
Our journey began with an intense passion for all things goat milk.
We wanted to be able to exercise care and control over the process in order to produce a product of the highest possible quality. This ambition led us to where we are located in the hills of Highgate, St. Mary where each passing day our ranch is transforming into a sanctuary for our beloved goats.
We love having the opportunity to share our experiences and knowledge with fellow enthusiasts through our virtual community and those who come to visit our ranch.
Giving Back
Sustainability
Our mission is to empower women and youth by providing them with a reliable and sustainable source of income.
Our program offers comprehensive training and guidance to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to care for their very own goat.
The goats we raise have been carefully bred with a focus on their milk production that provides a reliable and consistent source of income. This is in contrast to the more sporadic revenue generated by selling goat meat and/or breeding stock.
Our farming practices are rooted in regeneration, a philosophy that embraces the natural world as a partner rather than an adversary.
By working in harmony with the environment, we cultivate a sustainable and thriving ecosystem that benefits both the land and the people who depend on it.
Our sustainable farming practices involve a rotational grazing technique, whereby we move our goats to new pasture daily, allowing enough time for the grass to rejuvenate and thrive before returning to that spot in the pasture.
We take great pride in carefully packaging our rich, nutrient-dense manure, destined for the fields of local farms. Our all-natural fertilizer is a testament to our commitment to sustainable agriculture and the health of our planet.
